Job Update

The second week I was at my new office in Carroll I sold a full page ad! I sent emails out regarding our agriculture special section, and someone replied by phone and told me they wanted to do a half page because they were having a grand opening. Well, this half page turned into a full page. I was thrilled! Not only did I get a full page ad, I gained a new client who hadn't advertised with us in quite a while. I also got a poster sponsor who never advertised with us ever before, which is a major company. This was a really good week for sales for me! I'm hoping my paycheck reflects that this week!

I quit one of my part-time jobs on Thursday. I'm not longer an employee of GNC (General Nutrition Center). I feel relieved! I don't know how I did it working a full-time job and two part-time jobs. I did it for a month though! I was getting major burn out! I actually asked my boss at GNC if I could just be on call. That way I could still be an employee, but not work very much. My boss left me a message on my cellphone and said that there was no one on call. Previously he told me that there was a guy who was going to be on call, and now all of the sudden there wasn't anyone on call. He sure changed the story fast. Then on the voice mail he told me that I could put in my two week notice and I could give him two or three weeks! Nobody gives a three-week notice, unless it is required. Well, I had to work on Thursday night and I really didn't feel well all day, I was very achy all over. I texted my boss there and told him I was sick and asked if he could find someone to cover me. He just simply replied "ok". This was very strange. On Thursday to Friday I take my Hy-Vee schedule to GNC so that he can schedule me for the next week. I never took my schedule in. I thought he would call me freaking out. He never called. I guess he really didn't need me, huh? I was only working like 6 hours a week making minimum wage. I was just holding on for the employee 30% discount. I'm very glad I'm out of there.
